About

Sprawling 24-hour gym offering an indoor pool and a hot tub, plus basketball courts and friendly staff, as well as a range of fitness classes.

The facility features a heated indoor pool. While specific operating temperatures are not explicitly published on their main public information sources, such aquatic centers typically maintain their lap pools at a comfortable temperature, often ranging from 80-84°F (26.7-28.9°C), suitable for various activities including swimming and water fitness. For the most current and precise pool temperature, it is advisable to contact The GYM Cape Carteret directly.

What are people saying (AI review summary)? Reviews for the gym are mixed, highlighting both positive aspects and significant areas for improvement. Positives include a friendly and approachable staff, a nice indoor pool (which is a unique feature in the area), and 24-hour access. Some users consider it the best option near Emerald Isle despite its flaws, and a punch pass option is available for those hesitant to commit. However, several critical issues were raised: poor customer service and lack of responsiveness for new inquiries, dirty mirrors, old and worn-out machinery, a general 'beat up' environment, and a cramped main workout area. There were also specific concerns about hot tub cleanliness and a lack of information regarding massage services.

I moved to emerald isle in May. Am a member of the sports center in MHC. Stopped in at the gym to get a tour and eas told to look on their website to find out what they offer. Send an email thru contact us. No response. I guess I'll continue to drive 30 minutes to workout. 😞 Dissapointing

Love the gym at Cape carteret! The only place anywhere in the area that has a nice indoor pool! They allow me to bring my service dog in to sit on the side of the pool while I have pool therapy!

Despite the dirty mirrors, very old machinery, lack of mats and just a general “beat up” environment, it’s still the best gym near Emerald Isle. The staff is friendly. If they painted and cleaned, it would be great.

Just joined. Love it and for those complaining about the cost, u could do what I did and buy a punch pass 15 visits for $120 until u are sure u want to commit. 2 questions: there were concerns at my last gym about the cleanliness of the hot tub...bacteria, etc. how often is it checked/treated? Also, someone mentioned massages. What are the types and rates....didn't see in the site. Txs

This place kind of gives me a YMCA vibe which isn’t at all a bad thing. People seem friendly and from all walks of life so it’s an approachable gym. It’s nice they have a pool and 24 hour access. The only complaint I really have probably due to being used to larger gyms is that the main work out area feels a bit cramped.
